How to have fun in Hokkaido, Japan

Nowadays, many families choose to travel abroad during holidays. Among them, our close neighbor Japan is one of the popular tourist choices, and Hokkaido is one of the famous tourist destinations in Japan. So many people want to know how to play in Hokkaido. Come and have a look with me.

Which cities do you go to Hokkaido in winter?

Hot springs, snow scenes and delicious food in winter are the most attractive tourist attractions in Hokkaido. Sapporo, Otaru, Dengbie, Toyako, Hakodate and other cities that meet these highlights and are suitable for going are recommended.

Sapporo is the Hokkaido city with the most domestic flights, and there are direct flights between Beijing and Shanghai. With the JR link of Hokkaido Railway Link, you can play around Otaru, Dengbie, Toyako and Hakodate.

Dengbie is more like Toyako. Both of them are mainly hot springs, and cooperation with Bear Ranch is attractive. If you especially like skiing, I recommend going to Toyako, and you can go skiing in Valley II based on Toyako. If you are interested in skiing in general, you can choose a nearby ski resort experience according to your itinerary.

Let's talk about other highlights. Those who like hot springs can reluctantly give up their love for Toyako. After all, you can see sulfur streaking through the Valley of Hell here. If there is not enough time, if you fly to Sapporo, you will also have priority to board the plane because it is much closer to Sapporo.

Let's talk about Hakodate again. Why do you recommend Hakodate? The first is the night scene here, a million night scenes with perfect integration of sea view and city street view. Of course, you can't miss it.

The friends in the plot of Love Letter must yearn for Otaru, and it is also convenient to go to Otaru. It takes about an hour to take JR from Sapporo, which is suitable for a one-day tour.

How to arrange between cities?

1, which city to play first and then which city to play, which is very important to save travel time and improve efficiency. If the open-air ticket price is suitable, it is of course best for Hakodate to enter Sapporo or Sapporo to enter Hakodate.

Now, after the opening of Shinkansen in Hokkaido and Honshu, it is very convenient to take the Shinkansen directly from Hakodate to Tokyo. Especially when the flight is grounded in snowstorm, Sapporo gradually enters and exits Hakodate, and the gameplay with Honshu is becoming more and more mainstream.

2. Buying a closed air ticket in Sapporo is more cost-effective. With the Hokkaido Railway connecting with JR, all these cities can have a good time.

Because Sapporo is mainly for shopping, if you don't want to carry a lot of luggage around, I suggest going to the farthest Hakodate first, and then playing all the way back to Sapporo. The lamp is located between Hakodate and Sapporo. When returning to Sapporo from Hakodate, Dengbie will be used as a transit point. It is also a very pleasant choice to rest in a hot spring for one night. Finally, Otaru is near Sapporo, which is suitable for a day trip without dragging luggage around.

How to solve intercity traffic?

Self-driving: driving in Japan requires an international driver's license, which is more troublesome. A treasure can apply for a certificate, but it does not guarantee authenticity. It is normal for Hokkaido to snow in winter, and the distance between cities is far, which tests driving skills. Driving by car is not recommended.

Japan Railway JR: The earliest Japanese railway, referred to as JR, has a very developed railway network. Even in a big rural area like Hokkaido, there are many JR flights between cities, and they are quite punctual. Except for external force majeure, everyone can leave and arrive on time. Following the timetable can greatly improve the efficiency of travel. At the same time, there is also the Hokkaido Railway Pass, referred to as the Hokkaido JR Pass, which provides special discounts for foreigners who travel. There are 3-5 days different specifications to choose from. Planning a good travel route and buying a good JR pass in Hokkaido can save a lot of money.

Bus: mainly used in cities such as Dengbie and Toyako, and when connecting with other cities. There are buses from New Chitose Airport to Dengbie Hot Spring and Ergu Resort. It is recommended to check bus timetable in advance, otherwise it may take a long time to miss it.

Chartered flight: This is the most convenient and time-saving method, and of course the price is very good. Generally speaking, a 7-seater car costs 2000-3000 yuan a day. It is not recommended to charter the whole journey. For a big move like Hakodate to Sapporo, it is quite comfortable to take JR, and there will be no traffic jam on the road. From Sapporo to Dengbie and Dengbie to Toyako, it is recommended to charter a car at this distance. You can also play in the scenic spots on the way to make the best use of them.

How to solve the urban traffic?

Sapporo: The subway in Sapporo is relatively perfect and the lines are clear. Basically, it is the main means of transportation, and regular scenic spots can be reached. In addition, there are buses and commercial power to choose from, which are relatively frequent, but the punctuality rate is not so high, especially buses. After all, it always snows, so you can't care too much.

Dengbie: Generally, you need to take a bus from JR Dengbie Station to Dengbie Hot Spring. You must look at the timetable first. If you miss it, it may take an hour to blow in the cold wind. After arriving at Dengbie Hot Spring, you can basically walk to the main scenic spots, which is quite leisure.

Hakodate: Hakodate has two mains electricity, which also covers almost all scenic spots. However, Hakodate is actually not big, and sometimes it is better to walk by trunk line.

Otaru: Get off at JR Otaru Station and walk there. The Otaru Canal area is mainly fun, and you can walk there.
